Blog? Hunh? What's a blog? Wait, I have a blog??
Oh yeah. ... totally forgot about that one.
Just joking. But it's been so long since I've blogged that it feels like I've forgotten about it. I have the general excuses of being busy. (My go to excuse...) But so many things have been keeping me busy and not blogging. Things like CAMPING! So much fun!! :) Things like my garden. Things like soccer 4 nights a week most of the time. Things like having a TON of tiny homegrown pears to use up. (Well, grandma-grown pears.)
I used some of those pears to make jam:
The pear jam is the one on the left. Doesn't it look yummy? It is! I'm so proud of it!! It's cinnamon/ginger pear jam. And once I was done my mom took the spatula to the pot and cleaned out every last drop. She loved it too!
So the jam above is for the Steph Chows 2nd Annual Jam exchange. Yay! I love jam exchanges. :) I'm sending Pear jam, peach jam, blueberry jam and cucumber sula. (Cucumber Sula is a family recipe that makes a relish. I don't love it, but the rest of my family does...)
And I'm also sending two granny square dishcloths. Com'on. I can't not send something I knit.
Not the cutest thing ever, but I thought they were cute in the simple old-fashioned I-just-made-jam sort of a way. Right? Plus, SUPER simple to make. I'm still liking simple these days.
So hopefully my jam exchange buddy enjoys my jam. Can't wait to see what I get! :)

I didn't know you could make jam out of pears! Dang it! My dad just gave me a LOAD of pears and a bunch went bad before we could use them. Now I know better!
You should have made a pear pie!! How did you not this of that!? (jk) I made one of those this weekend too. Pear with a crumble top. Very yummy.
